Our Mother's Day Gift Guide

May 08, 2017

Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and there is no better time to show your mom, grandmother or wife how much you love and appreciate her. Still pondering the perfect present, we have made last-minute shopping easier with our list of the perfect gifts for the special mom in your life:

For the Book Club Mom: Is your mom in a book club or maybe just an avid reader? There is no better way to enjoy a book than in the bath (glass of wine optional). We have the perfect seaweed bath pairings to go along with some book recommendations:

If she’s all about a strong, female voice, she’ll love Wild by Cheryl Strayed. Strayed’s memoir tells of a healing journey as she hikes through the Pacific Crest Trail with a female empowerment perspective. Pair with our Lavender Hydrating Seaweed Powder Bath for a calming and healing experience.

If she’s the mom who loves travel, Jess Walter’s Beautiful Ruins will whisk her away to the beautiful Mediterranean for a heart-wrenching and romantic tale she’ll never forget. Let the ocean vibes take over and pair this book with our Unscented Hydrating Seaweed Powder Bath. She’ll reap the benefits of the ocean without the hefty price tag of jetting off to the Med.

If she likes reading the latest self-improvement books, or she’s looking to make a change, we recommend The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing byMarie Kondo. She’ll want to detox more than just her home and wardrobe after reading this New York Times Bestseller. Reach for our Whole-Seaweed Detox Bath to pair with this book.

For the Coffee Connoisseur: if your mom sports a mug that says “But first, coffee,” we totally get her. For Mother’s Day, help your mom stay caffeinated with some of our must-haves.

Chameleon Cold Brew. This coffee is potent cold brew coffee with a variety of bold flavors. If you’re mom likes to keep it classic, try the black coffee. It’s rich in body with notes of cocoa and toffee. If your mom likes a little twist on her coffee, try one of the other four flavors. Our favorite is the Mexican Coffee with hints of vanilla, almond, and cinnamon. Or spring for the variety pack so she can try them all.

Include a calming candle to help your mom unwind. We love Caldrea’s candles and we’re obsessed with their ocean-inspired scent, Sea Salt Neroli.

If you’re trying to win “mom’s favorite kid” points, go ahead and throw in a gift card for a massage. She deserves it.

For the On-Trend Mom: Give mom some on-trend jewelry by designer Kendra Scott. Check out her latest Spring 2017 collection, or make it more personal and design a piece you know your mom will love. Or make a day out of it and take your mom to her local Kendra Scott store with a color bar so mom can design her perfect signature piece.

Navita’s Natural Cacao Nibs. These nibs are a whole lot of chocolate with with a hint of sweetness. Cacao Nibs are a great addition to any trail mix, or substitute processed chocolate chips for these natural cacao nibs

Alter Eco Chocolate Bars - All these bars are delicious and your mom can feel good about eating them too. Alter Eco chocolate bars are fair trade, organic, and non-GMO. As thalassophiles, we’re obsessed with the Deep Dark Sea Salt Chocolate Bar. The chocolate is creamy to perfection and the sea salt adds a nice crunch. Or take the decadence up a notch and reach for the Dark Sea Salt Truffles instead. These are melt-in-your-mouth to die for.
